    Modern HW's are around 220-260 lbs. Does Rocky Marciano have any chance to compete with them? Marciano was only 187 lbs. Can you see him win any of current top HW's?

    Unlikely he beats a modern heavyweight who's actually in decent shape. He could possibly beat one who enters the ring morbidly obese. :patsch

    He weighed about the same as Sergey Kovalev so no, I dont think he'd have been able to compete at HW

    Does Rigondeaux have a chance against Golovkin?

    why not? whats to stop him putting on 8 lbs to take himself up to HW? the fatboys currently there all put on more flab than that.

    explain why rocky cant flab a bit when they can. Does he have a magically high metabolic rate? let us know.

    rocky cleans out the current division, only being tested by wlad until he catches up with him.

    with his secret self punch, no doubt. knocks himself out before rocky can hit him.

    that's one rockys not seen.

    Fury's speed,switch hitting and sheer size is ahead of its time now,go back 60 odd years and well obviously he's light years ahead

    The current elite? (Wlad)

    No, not a chance.

    I'd give him a great chance of KOing Fury. If Cunningham can find that chin Rocky shatters it.
